Question for the Wheel Guru's amongst us.

Waspo · 11-26-2014, 03:53 AM

Have 18" Genuine BMW Mv3 staggered wheels in great condition, on the E90 330i at the moment and intend to change them, so they will be for sale soon.

However now have the chance to go to 19" or stick with 18".

What is the pros' and cons of 19"

What is the pro's and cons of 18"

Thanks Guys

I'm no Guru, but imo 19s look much better than 18s. But the tyres are more expensive and the car will be less forgiving over bumps

19"

Pros: look better, best size for E9x body, great range of wheel choices
Cons: less comfortable, tyre a bit more expensive (an amount hardly worth crying over)

Exactly this. Pro's out weigh the con's for me

19s look better period

18s more comfortable, cheaper tyres, less likely to crack

+1 the posts above.

If your going for 18's then the car has to be low to pull it off imo if they are aftermarket wheels. Where as 19's on standard msport height suspension look great.
